Hollywood police on Tuesday began distributing fliers with a sketch of the ``Pillowcase Rapist`` to city grocery stores, police spokesman Paul Dungan said.

In a cooperative effort with the Metro-Dade Police Department, Hollywood police are passing out 20,000 copies of a composite sketch of a man suspected of raping at least 44 women in South Florida over the last five years, police said.

The rapist is responsible for attacks from South Miami to Deerfield Beach, police said. In almost every case, the rapist has covered his face and that of his victim, often with a pillowcase.
